Very Proudly Presents

Lifestyle Educator, Respected Leatherwoman and
Famous Fetish Author of "Screw the Roses, Send me the Thorns",

Molly Devon

Molly Devon is an author, artist, publisher, and leatherwoman living in Connecticut. She has attended Yale, Penn State, and a small liberal arts college who will remain nameless by request; acquiring degrees in Behavioral Science and Visual Arts.

Since the untimely passing in 1996 of her former Master and partner, Philip Miller, much of Devon's time is occupied by the continued operation of their publishing company, Mystic Rose Books, Inc.

Philip and Molly met in 1991 at the Dressing For Pleasure Gala. Though they often used their domness and subness as a literary device in Screw the Roses, Send me the Thorns, their writing was most often interactive, bouncing pieces back and forth until both were satisfied. The book is now in its twenty-third printing.


KEYNOTE ADDRESS:
Who are we? We are the people we choose to be.


Roleplay: (Course overview)

 
"
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes." -Walt Whitman.

Walt Whiman was correct. Roleplay is something we all do, i.e. we are different people in different contexts. In SM we do this one better, we choose our roles consciously.

SM Spirituality: (Course overview)

SM Spirituality focuses on the altered states typical of sm and their relationship/simalarity  to such states acheived through spiritual practices such as meditation. More importantly to me is the spirutuality of finding self through selflessness.
